It’s the subs who catch the malignant tuna

What do magazines do without their subs? Miss howlers like these - funny as. I wish I'd kept a list of the ones I've come across that are specific to surfing, but I'd not have had the time.

The Surfing Tribe

I did some work on The Surfing Tribe, which is out now. It's turned out amazing. It's such an epic bit of work, so many facts and figures, stories collated, never-seen photos sourced. It caused untold amounts of heartache, rows and headaches, but now it's here, I'm proud to have had a (small) hand in it.

(Signed copies available… I know this all sounds like just a plug but not really, I'm just impressed with how it came out.)

Edit your face

lol

In a nutshell

These are the things that drive me mad every single day…wish I could send Grammar Girl to all the offenders!

You're Versus Your
"You're" means "you are." "Your" is the possessive form of "you."

It's Versus Its
"It's " means "it is" or "it has." "Its" is the possessive form of "it."

They're Versus Their Versus There
"They're" means "they are." "Their" is the possessive form of "they," and "there" is usually a place.

Clean text, please.

Love:
TextSoap
Find and Replace – I love that it'll find 'space space' (Who still does that? Did you love your typewriter very much? Please, don't!) and replace with one space.
Tiny, tiny screwdrivers that allow me to fit RAM and rebuild iPods. iGeek.
TextEdit. No fuss.
Leopard - Kat loves her cats.

Hate:
Your and you're mix up. If you mean you are, it's you're. It ain't hard.
Micockisoft Word. Especially the .wps fiasco, which makes people think Macs are to blame.
How expensive InDesign is.
Applications demanding attention. I fired you up so you could load your lumbering ass in the background while I get on with something else. Don't switch me.
